Mellifluous // Fillie

18

At lunch, the friends gathered around the lunch table excitedly whispering.

"We can't let any other of our classmates know we're a band, we should surprise them," Noah says seriously.

"The whole school is gonna blow their shit!" Caleb whisper shouts, earning giggles from Gaten and Sadie. Reference

"Should we tell Romeo?" Sadie asks with a look that says please say no.

"I don't know," Caleb says with a hint of sorry in his voice. His tone implying that they shouldn't tell Romeo.

Everyone looks at each other silently.

Finn scratches the back of his neck, "He's not very musically inclined, and quite frankly, he's a total-"

"Control freak?"

"Big head?"

Millie and Sadie say over each other. The teens laugh. Gaten spitting out some of his chocolate milk onto the table, causing the friends to laugh even harder.

"Man, I love you guys," Millie says with that iconic sigh you do after laughing for a long time.

"We love you too Millie," Gaten says, rubbing his sore cheeks.

"Anyways," Noah says, biting into a luke-warm, tasteless fry.

"Let's settle who's doing what."

"Millie is singing for sure," Sadie says immediately.

"Agreed," Finn nods his head.

Millie groans, slapping her forehead with the palm of her hand.

"Oh shut up Millie!" Sadie says jokingly.

"Well, you're going to sing too then, Sadie," Millie points at Sadie, staring her down.

Sadie puts her hands in the air to surrender, "Alright."

"I can play the drums," Noah and Gaten say at the same time, they both stare at each other awkwardly.

"You take this one Noah, I'll find something else."

"Are you sure Gaten, you can p-"

"Noah, it's cool. I'll find something."

"Thanks, man."

"Sure thing."

"Aweee," Millie says, adorably British.

"Your accent is so cute," Finn blurts our, immediately covering his mouth.

"Did Finn Wolfhard just call me cute?" Millie asks, gaining a boost of confidence. Finn's cheeks burn red, but he couldn't let that slide.

"I said your accent, I didn't call you cute," Finn fires back with a toothy smile.

"Shots fired," Caleb shouts.

Millie rolls her eyes, an artificial look of anger on her face. She sits down at the table and begins to eat her subpar salad, pushing away the mushy tomatoes with her fork.

"I know for sure that Finn is going to play guitar," Caleb says, ruffling his friend's dark curly hair.

Millie's eyes widen and she drops her fork onto her tray, she looks at Finn, "You play guitar?!" She squeals.

"Who plays guitar?" Romeo cuts in, walking up to the the table with a coffee and a blueberry scone, he must have left campus for lunch.

"Finn, right?" He asks, having known the answer already.

"Yeah," Noah says, followed by an awkward moment of silence.

Gaten looks at everyone with a look that says we will talk more later. Sadie nods her head, indicating that she understands.

Millie takes another bite of her salad, the loud crunch disrupting the silence, causing Finn and Noah to giggle silently. Finn sits down next to Millie, popping a chicken nugget into his mouth.

"These fries suck," Noah exclaims truthfully.

"Rest in Peace, fry squad, never forget," Millie whispers, referring to the day they all went to study at the library and ended up running there, screaming chants about fries.

Gaten spits a bit of chocolate milk out for the second time today, causing Finn to throw a fry at him.

"Didn't know you were a chocolate milk fountain, Gaten," Finn jokes. The teens laugh, Millie and Gaten being the loudest.

"I would pretend to be offended, but that one got me," Gaten admits, using his napkin to wipe the chocolate milk off of the table.

"The fries aren't as bad as the chicken nuggets, Noah," Finn replies after the laughter calms down, pointing at Noah's untouched nuggets.

"Actually, I think the nuggets aren't too bad. But nothing here's worse than these fries," Noah says, earning a nod of agreement from Caleb.

"So, how's art class, Finn?" Sadie asks, obviously hinting at the fact that he drew a beautiful picture of Millie, not too long ago.

Finn's cheeks immediately flush a light pink. Millie thought it was adorable with his freckles.

"It's pretty good, we're learning how to draw eyes soon and I'm so excited!"

"Why are you so excited about drawing eyes?" Millie asks with a slight laugh, finding his excitement cute.

"Because it means I can learn how to draw something I've always found beautiful," Finn says, staring intensely  into Millie's golden brown eyes.

The whole group is silent, except for the slight scraping noise of Gaten's spoon in his nearly empty chocolate pudding.

"I'm mostly excited, because I hope to be able to draw your eyes, Millie."

Millie blushes.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?" Gaten whisper screams into Caleb's ear.

Romeo sips his coffee loudly, earning a glare from Sadie. (Think of the Kermit the frog meme)

Romeo coughs.

"Moving on..." Caleb says. The group breaks out into a slightly awkward fit of laughter.

Man, Caleb thinks, Finn sure is falling hard.
